To restore the original shine of an floor a screen and re-coat may be done versus a complete refinishing. A professional sand and finish expert would have to make the determination on site on which sanding process will be needed or which can be done to restore the floors shine. Not all floors can be refinished because of having a thin veneer layer.

Full refinishing will take slightly under a 1/32" off the veneer of the wood flooring. The thickness of the veneer and how much wear and dents a floor has will determine how many times it can be refinished. Engineered flooring with a 1/8" wear layer or more will be able to be refinished at least once. If the engineered product has a 1/16" wear layer a professional sander may be able to refinish it, but many won't take the chance in case they make a mistake and take too much off the wear layer. We recommend that hardwood floor refinishing be done by a professional and if your not sure if you can refinish your flooring have professional sand and finish expert come to your home and evaluate your flooring. Thank you for your inquiry.
